Manchester City announce pre-season visit to China

Xinhua, February 6, 2016 Adjust font size:

English premier league club Manchester City announced on Friday they will visit China as part of their pre-season preparations.

The news comes two months after a consortium of Chinese investors acquired a 13 per cent stake in the club's holding company the City Football Group.

Full details are yet to be revealed but the matches City play will be in the International Champions Cup, a prestigious friendly tournament series which annually features some of the world's elite clubs.

The announcement was made in a press release detailing a number of initiatives the club are undertaking to celebrate Chinese New Year and which further emphasises the club's growing links with the Asian country. Endit
